All about the genuine Sabah Claim Society

We are Philippine patriots who have grouped together from around the world and who created the Sabah Claim Society group originally on Facebook on 15 July 2011 and counted close to 6,000 members.

But on 5 October 2011 our group on Facebook was traitorously hijacked by two people we had invited to join us as group admins but who, we learned later on, had been hired to sabotage our patriotic group by a group of sinister individuals sporting fake European sounding nobility titles and other spurious Tausug/Sulu titles ['bestowed' and indiscriminately distributed on Facebook] and organized by a combined team of charlatans namely a datu (sporting a fake sultan title) and the latter's handler who is conveniently sporting an absolutely fake 'princely' title as well.

Please be warned that the said group of individuals, we believe, are in fact con artists out to "claim" Sabah for "get rich quick" reasons and are not genuine Philippine patriots. Their motive, we have discovered, is to be able to convince Malaysians that they are genuine Sulu royalty and pro-Philippine Sabah claim supporters in order to extract from Malaysia (which has control of Sabah today) a premium for letting go of the Sabah claim.

For being "illegal", Filipinos in Sabah are beaten, jailed by Malaysian police before deportation

There are those who still believe that Malaysians are kind to Filipinos in Sabah. Think again.

Standard Operational Procedure in Sabah: Filipinos who are considered illegal in Sabah are given rattan cane lashings -- and often coupled with a jail sentence -- before they are "deported" from their own homeland and this has been going on for years. Yet, not a squeak to protest this abominable practice has been heard from successive leaders of the Republic.We know first hand that the ONLY "crime" of many of those Filipinos who were given rattan cane lashings and jail sentence before final deportation was that they had gone back to Sabah and were caught after they had been deported by Malaysian police once or twice before.~~ Admins, Defenders of the Philippine Sabah and Spratly Claims13 April 2013

ZAMBOANGA CITY, Philippines -- Illegal Filipino workers expelled from Malaysia's Sabah state have been severely beaten by police, a fact-finding body said Saturday.

Thousands of Filipinos, including women and children, remained in Malaysian detention centers "and suffering from inhumane conditions," said Luzviminda Ilagan, a member of the Philippines House of Representatives and of the Fact-Finding Committee on Sabah Deportees.

"Filipino detainees and those who were already deported to the Philippines have experienced severe beatings from Malaysian police while under detention," she told reporters in the southern port city of Zamboanga which serves as the transit point for deported Filipinos.

Ilagan urged the government to provide the deportees with aid to ensure they would not return as illegals to Sabah.

She also pushed for a House-level inquiry into the alleged abuses by Malaysian police. Malaysia announced a fresh crackdown on illegals early this year and thousands of Filipinos have been deported since.

The committee, composed of the Association for the Rights of Children in South East Asia, Migrante International, and Gabriela Women?s Party, was formed to investigate alleged human rights abuses against undocumented Filipino workers and immigrants in Sabah.

The state, which lies between the Philippines to the north and Indonesia's Kalimantan to the south, is a magnet for immigrants who work on construction sites and oil palm plantations.

Malaysian authorities say 130,000 illegal migrants are in Sabah but local politicians put the figure as high as 500,000.

According to the Philippine government, an estimated 200,000 Filipinos are living and working in Malaysia without valid visas and nearly 3,000 are in jail waiting to be deported.

WHAT IS THE SABAH CLAIM SOCIETY?

The SABAH CLAIM SOCIETY blog serves as a repository of articles, documents, researches, and other publised material to help us all understand what the Philippine Sabah claim is all about and where it is at today. Our aim is to provide a 'pedagogical' platform, a learning tool that everyone is invited to use to discuss and learn about the standing Philippine Sabah claim.

For information, the SABAH CLAIM SOCIETY is NOT under the aegis of any Sultanate of Sulu group nor of any Facebook group linked to/headed by indviduals purporting to be sultan of Sulu, grand prince marshal, duke/duchess, count, viscount, marquis, baron, lord, lady, etc., etc. These European sounding nobility titles do not exist in the genuine Tausug or Sulu Sultanate culture and are therefore fake, a pure invention.

We are not a part of any government or non-governmental institution or agency whatsoever. We are just a group of genuine individual patriots who have come together from different parts of the globe to enforce and support the tenet that sovereignty rights of the Republic of the Philippines over Sabah must and should remain supreme.

WE GO BY THE DICTUM OF THE ILLUSTRIOUS SENATOR JOVITO SALONGA, FATHER OF THE PHILIPPINE SABAH CLAIM

"If, despite the assumed knowledge of the validity and justice of the Philippine claim, we fold our arms in mortal fear, we should lose not merely the respect of all law-abiding nations (the United Kingdom and the Asian countries in particular), but also a considerable measure of self-respect — which, to my mind, is more important — and, by our own inaction and timidity, lose our faith in the ultimate validity of that which is right and just. If, on the other hand, we come to the conclusion that the Philippine claim is without basis, then we should say so and let the British Government know our stand. Such candor and probity will undoubtedly inspire the respect of the entire free world."
